WWE NXT Results:
And NEW!
The new NXT Women’s North American Champion, Zaria, says she spent so much time in Sol Ruca’s shadow that she forgot what the sun looked like. But now, she’s the one holding the championship, and the future is in her hands. She’s tired of hearing that everyone else is the future of this business. Zaria owes none of us gratitude. Kelani Jordan interrupts.
Jordan tells Zaria she doesn’t have the title Jordan wants, but she has some advice for Zaria. The people chanting for you now will turn on you later. Kendall Grey is out next. Everyone argues. Lola Vice joins the party. More arguing. Zaria is upset that everyone is making a moment about her. NXT GM Mr. Stone walks out, but before he can speak, the ladies in the ring book the tag match for him.
Grade: C
More of the same here. The promo segments for the women in NXT follow the same formula, and for someone who watches this show every week, it’s becoming a bit much.
NXT North American Championship no. 1 Contender Match | Tavion Heights vs. Jackson Drake
Drake and Heights go back and forth. The Vanity Project keeps interfering. Heights manages to belly-to-belly suplex Drake over the top onto the Vanity Project. NXT North American Champion Myles Borne runs in and pulls Smokes and Baylor out of the ring before they can get involved once again. Drake walks right into Height of Glory. Heights pins Drake
Winner- Tavion Heights
Grade: C+
Fun TV match. Heights suplexes are insane. It’s like Kurt Angle and Taz had a baby. Eww.
